Thinkpads might be recessing but are still better than whatever the market has to offer today. It might not be the old ultra rugged laptop but it still retains most of thinkpad essence

>trackpad
>magnesium alloy roll cage
>waterresistant
>superior keyboard
>quality built
>more ports than any other laptop
>long battery life

I do, however miss the days when every possible place on a thinkpad was occupied by some useless port, when the lid opened like a briefcase and the entire thing weighted 5kg.

>no ethernet port

No, Macbooks are. In ten years this board will have Macbook generals.
>Great Linux support
>durability
>my 2010 macbook still runs better than your 2010 thinkpad

They're still flimsy consumer laptops. Dell Latitudes are great though.

>No, Macbooks are.
Unironically this. Sad times we live in.

Consumer garbage.

Wrong.

Not until they stop using Broadcom wireless and (ideally) start using Qualcomm Atheros chipsets.
Or better yet, LET YOUR FUCKING USERS REPLACE THE PART THEMSELVES I HATE MY MAC REEEEEEEE

don't fall for the dell xps meme, get a thinkpad that will last decades

>15000 dollaridoos

Holy fuck, I never thought retardation at this level existed

Looks horrible tbqh.

Hey it's this meme again!
Nice dude, I can already feel the macfags switching to thinkpads
All of the doctors and lawyers and important programmers who use macs are seeing this and thinking "damn this guy on this Laotian basket weaving forum has a point with his posts, better ditch my computer for some Chinese botnet."

You seem to be confused. I recommend seeing a professional.

I would write a long drawn out reply, but I think I can basically sum up your post as:
>t. mactoddler

>some autistic kid's dad works in IT so he can regularly take photos like these and larp

>coil whine
works on my machine
>shitty keyboard
have had mine for 8 months and it has never had problems
>bad upgradeability
you are correct
>hidpi
only if you waste money on the garbage touch screen version
>shitty proprietary bios
>no ethernet
valid points
>shitty trackpad
works great, but i still prefer my old thinkpad clit
>chiclet
yeah the keyboard is shit
>runs hot
i compile on this daily and it runs fine.
>dust around the screen
clean it if it gets dustry
>headphone problems on linux
works on my machine
>bad quality control
probably
>overpriced macbook fake
i got my 9360 for 600 bucks thanks to a 15% discount, very satisfied with the purchase.

shit also gets like 13 hrs of battery life easy which is way better than my old thinkpad. and it's only 2 pounds.

this. poorfags gonna poor

Switching to Chinese Botne- I mean, Thinkpad right now. Nice.

Sure you can force an install but thats just another nail in the coffin of "It just werks!"

Never again!

But the thing is. What if i need them?
With other manufactures i have the choice, not so much with Macs.
Why limit your options because a company you owe nothing told you to?

i miss the old XPS line of desktop repalcement systems

>no nipple

no thanks

That's because Sup Forums is OBSESSED with Apple. They talk about Apple products more than people who buy Apple products.

>chiclet keyboard
this
when will the ride end? i want to type on a keyboard, not cardboard

The new XPS laptops are fragile cheap consumer shit meant to be thrown out after a year. The 2005 one I had was an absolute fucking beast. It had like 10 USB ports and if you dropped it the USGS would call you up and ask what the fuck you are doing.

>t. mactoddler

O B S E S S E D

Why are they obsessed with products they can’t even afford lol just get another computer and move on

>t. assblasted mactoddler

are you supposed to hover your palms in the air when typing?

Nope.

2012 Macbook owner here. Never upgrading.

The models before the 9370 surely didn't have battery life issues. If anything their battery life was the best on the market. I got absurd hours on my 9350, at least.

I hate the meme bezel. They're too expensive even second hand. Are they even easily serviceable?

I have it set so my trackpad turns off automatically whenever I'm typing.

Same. My 9360 gets good battery life. Usually around 13-15 hours whilst doing simple browsing.

Not in my experience.

If the Dell XPS can fall off a five foot tall chest of drawers onto a hardwood floor and survive with absolutely no damage to the external shell or internal components, then I will consider it a Thinkpad replacement.

I still can't believe my Thinkpad works after it. I watched it happen in slow motion and cringed when it hit the ground. I thought the chassis would have at least some damage, or the panel, or the keyboard, or some RAM or HDD/SSD would be knocked loose. But there was nothing. I just hit the power button, it turned on again and worked.

It's pretty sturdy as far as ultrabooks go, but compared to beastly Thinkpads it's a brittle piece of shit, yes.

My company uses exclusively dell and even their business class laptops are flimsy shit. The keyboards are the fucking absolute worst

For me it's the Dell Latitude

Previous year's model is better

This board would have lost all it's brain power then. You are litteraly the biggest faggot here. There is so much wrong with Macs it's not even funny.

Even the new thinkpads are better than every other laptop on the market.

My X260 will be my last thinkpad, unless Lenovo once again allow you to spec one without a camera and microphone. The x280 only has the option of a camera with microphone and no "thinkshutter", or with a physical shutter. I don't trust manufacturers enough for that.

I'd rather there not be any physical hardware in my machine that listens to or watches me. I didn't even spec a fingerprint reader since 1: it doesn't work well with Linux and 2: it's a ridiculous weak point for unlocking a machine.

that is sort of what the word "new" means, yes

>XPS
You spelled Latitude wrong.

I have linux acpi problems on my sabrepro. Even the acpi=ht fails. Did you ever find a fix?

You are literally obsessed with products you can't even afford. Just let it go and accept your status, poorfag. Go buy a HP laptop or some shit and move on.

>when will the ride end? i want to type on a keyboard, not cardboard

Why is there a delay when you tap the trackpad on a laptop with Windows 10?

Can poor "people" even afford better insults? We should just kill all the poor people. That way we won't even have to worry about communism anymore.

>We should just kill all the poor people.
This. All iPovvos welfare niggers bragging about their $1/day $30/mo fruit shit need to be purged.

>th-the people buying the things I can't afford are the real poor people!
Pathetic.

>iToddlers are SO POOR they think spending $1/day on fruity chink toys makes them not poor

You've never even seen more than $100 in your bank account. That's why you spend all day shitposting about your obsessing with Apple. It's sad, really. But also amusing.

but they're not buying them, that's the point. they're renting them and end up paying 1.5 to 2 times the price for a 2 year old used phone once their contracts up lmao

You're SO FUCKING POOR you brag about your $1/day leased fruit toy. That's why you spend all day worshiping, defending and obsessing over Apple. It's sad, really. But also amusing.

Isn't this thread about computers? As usual, poverty fags lack reading comprehension because they can't even afford an education.

But I'll bite. When was the last time you saw someone using a fagdroid who wasn't:

>a fat broke neckbeard with no friends
Never ever. Don't even answer that, because you're just going to lie.

Leased? What's that? On a phone? Well, you would know better than I. You probably did that to get the latest samshit.

What about a T480s?

It comes with the same thinkshutter bullshit. The x270 and t470 (basically the *70 models) were the last ones to come with the option to not have a microphone or a camera. By the time someone using an x260 needs a new laptop, Lenovo are going to be on the x 5 series or t 7 series.

>no clit mouse
not off to a good start, idiot

What a bunch of faggots.
